MISSISSAUGA — Continental announces its latest partnership with Tree Canada in an effort to advance efforts for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Through Tree Canada’s Partners in Planting program, Continental Tire intends to invest in a program with Tree Canada and support the tree planting initiative by hosting a planting event.

“It is an honour and privilege to partner with Tree Canada,” said Okan Sen, Continental Tire Canada’s National Marketing Manager. “Through this initiative, we will be investing with Tree Canada in the future of our green spaces in our communities. Sustainability within the manufacturing plants, R&D studies such as ContiRe.Tex technology using polyester yarn obtained from used PET bottles, logistics, and extending tire life cycles to reduce waste are among our many global initiatives supporting the environment at Continental. Still, this one will be our local contribution to support the fight against climate change and our local way of giving back to nature, wildlife, and our communities”. Explained Sen.
